What watch should the Elvis lover buy? We’d wager it would look something like the Boucheron Carre! Manufacturing watches and jewelry in Paris since 1858, Boucheron has always taken an out of the box approach to watch design.
This particular piece features an 18K yellow gold square case with a hobnail vaulted bezel, and straight, minimalist lugs. The striking glint of the hobnail bezel is extremely characteristic of the Vegas styling of mid to late century designs.
The case is filled with a brushed dial with minimalist, applique indexes and a simple handset. Set against the more fashion-forward case, the dial has a refreshing simplicity that works brilliantly.
This piece has a really unique sliding clasp mechanism integrated into the lug profile, perhaps the watch's most defining characteristic.
As a whole, this piece has a playful undertone that reminds us of the nostalgia of a bygone era. Set on an Analog:Shift Laika black cervo leather strap, and paired with a matching pin buckle, this piece may be bright and striking, but it still features the attention to detail that speaks to the high jewelry piece that it is.
The perfect choice for a particular collector— you know who you are!
